    Apparently it is metal

    I found this quote

    M3 is an exciting new space age material that is just now being recognized for its remarkable beauty, strength and futuristic properties. Millions of dollars have been spent perfecting this material for the aerospace, medical, marine, architectural and other industries. The skin of the Space Shuttle, the Stealth Bomber and the International Space Station all contain examples of this remarkable new material. It is electronically depleted so that it will not conduct electricity or promote electrolysis allowing for new metal alloys that are just not possible in nature.
    on this web site


    looks kinda interesting...Look forward to seeing the finished results Kruger

    Great stuff Norbert

    Not to steal your thunder but here is one in the Damascus Steel fountain pen.

    Very hard on the tools

    M3 comes in Damascus Steel, Gold & Black and Aluminum & copper

    The kit is a Black Ti Baron from Brett

    Yes Amos quite heavy. We also placed a magnet on it and it was magnetic. I used rasp to rough trim the blank as it is extremely hard on tools. I am making some new tools out of tool steel just for these blanks
